English summary on page 60 as follows: Speaking in term of time. Dongsonian culture might start from VII or VII century B.C. and end round about the failure of Two Sisters Trung's insurrection. Speaking in term of area, it might stretch over northern Vietnam, and its zone of influence spread over the west, south, and south-east, upto Southeast Asia's mainland and islands. What about the north? Several scholars hold that there are 3 centers: North Vietnam is the main area, with 2 others lying in Southwest and South-east China. Nguyen Duy Hinh does not accept this 3-center theory. The Review published 2 articles by him dealing with bronze artifacts found in South-west and South-east China, with a view to contributing to the comparison between them and the Dongsonian ones, to arrive at most scientific findings.
